Better yet, ask them to make encryption pluggable, and ask them for sample code for a 40 bit encryption, and make a 128 bit module for yourself. If you can get someone in S.A. (or elsewhere) to do it, then NetScape can work around the export restrictions (and Microsoft can't). This should be very desirable for them, actually.
